About Us

As you will see below, we welcome new members from beginners to more established players. Beginners will always find others to play against and get a good game. All we ask is that you have played at least a little chess before and are at least 16 years old or are accompanied by an adult.

The club has many positive points. We have a large room with plenty of spacing and many of us
play simply for fun. On the other hand there is an opportunity to improve your chess by playing a stronger player and discussing the game afterwards and looking at the moves if you choose.

Through the summer when there are no league matches we simply meet up, chat and play non-competitive chess against
each other. We have a mixture of players ranging from some very good ones to ‘almost beginners’. It’s a friendly atmosphere and a social occasion.

During the winter we have three teams in the Sheffield League and one in the Doncaster League and many members play in these teams although some are not interested and just want to carry on playing‘social chess.’ 

Take a break from playing against your computer and play some real over-the-board chess! It’s more interesting and sociable.
